If you are a CenterPoint electric and gas customer, we certainly don't need to tell you that CenterPoint bills are out of control. A big part of the problem lies in the legislative rate hikes that Indiana lawmakers have been passing at the Statehouse in recent years.
Now is the time to call for greater change! We're urging folks in Southwest Indiana to meet with your state legislators in person to impress upon them that we need them to advocate for their constituents! Calls and emails aren't enough, so we want to step it up with in-person meetings. As always, this is an uphill battle, but we’re up for the fight, and we hope you are too!
Below are the materials we have put together to assist you in preparing to meet with your legislators.
If you run into any questions or would like additional support, please contact our Evansville organizer, Ryan Stratman, at rstratman@citact.org, or call/text (317) 550-0933.
